Recent progress in fundamental studies on multiporphyrin arrays has provided structural parameters for the molecular design of artificial light-harvesting antennae which mimic the wheel-like antenna complexes of photosynthetic purple bacteria. Covalent and noncovalent approaches have been employed for the construction of artificial light-harvesting multiporphyrin arrays. Such arrays are categorized into ring-shaped, windmill-shaped, star-shaped, and dendritic architectures. In particular, dendritic multiporphyrin arrays have been proven to be promising candidates for both providing a large absorption cross-section and enabling the vectorial transfer of energy over a long distance to a designated point. Such molecular and supramolecular systems are also expected to be potent components for molecular electronics and photonic devices.
